Erika(MK ,C turns to K rule)
Sonya
Blade
Herman
Daniel

"K" from erika, "O" from sonya, "B" from blade, "R" from Herman, "A" from Daniel... WHATS THAT SPELL!?,lol Kobra.

Its fun being stupid...

That was so dumb it made me laugh. xD Well, in the booklet her mother's name is spelled with a C, but that little letter picking thing was funny. Seriously, though it would be an awesome twist to her story, but I seriously doubt Boon & co are going that route with this character. =/

Well..it was worth a try... it does spell the name though,lol

I seriously think that there might just be something to this whole: Kobra = Daniel Blade thing! It would be very cool, for one thing. And also, He DOES resemble Sonya a lot..and I'm not talking about Weapons or fighting wise. I'm talking physical appearance. They were twins after all. It is said that the Earth warriors failed and were defeated...perhaps Daniel was revived (or never really dead, just in a coma or something) Maybe he's just regained his memories, and when he went looking for his family found that Sonya had disappeared. And he is in the tournament to find out exactly what happened to his sister, and if she is still alive.

I think it would be great if Kobra turned out to be Daniel. Also, it could be just the twist that Sonya's story so desperately needs!

I would love it if this happened. The whole idea of her once having a twin brother has always interested me and I hope the writers have at least thought of that when making this character. I mean, you're right, they look so much alike it's scary. I once thought maybe he had some ties with Cage, but this is looking more and more likely. *keeps fingers crossed*

I've got it. Kobra IS Sonya! Speculation OVER!

-Fuj

The thing with the Kobra = Daniel Blade theory that lets him down is the idea of ressurection which we need no more in MK. I think if they are going to have this story, then he should have been alive all this time, but maybe he lost his memory or was being kept prisoner somewhere or even had to change his identity to protect himself from some evil forces or just so he could hide away. Imagine if he was a potential Earth warrior like his sister but changed his identity or faked his death to escape the responsibilities of the tournament.

I'm not sure how it could be done fully, but if done well, we can get more of Sonyas history in there and maybe learn more about her on a deeper level on the emotional and personal side. And for her, this would provide a chance to see a new side to her and change her story. How will she react upon seeing her brother? And how will this change the direction of her story? Will she leave the Special Forces?

Hopefully, they will use this idea! It has lots of potential.

Thelonious-Monk Wrote: I think this is legit because we have often seen stuff like this in past MK games. And with Deception, it seems that KIRA has taken the place of Kano. If you have watched Kira fight, she has his hop-kick, his weapons (twin blades), and is even a member of the red dragon? I watched the video of Scorpion versus Kobra (by the way, i hated Kobra's name at first, but now i like it). and the way Kobra fought felt a ot like sonya, especially when he busted the kali-type sticks that sonya had in DA. Notice the sticks (like sonyas from DA) the hair color, skin color, and resemblance to Ms. Blade herself? Kobra might be sonya's pupil, brother, cousin?!?!?! is he evil?

So your saying that they are somehow connected because Kira has replaced Kano, and in a picture u found, Kobra is fighting Kira?

And because based on a 2 minute video, u have come to the conclusion that Kobra has the same feel (how u know they have the same feel based on a video is beyond me) as Sonya...



in some way they are all connected, but the support you have for your theory is laughable.

maybe he was in the military like sonya and went missing on a mission or something and was presumed dead, and maybe sonya was captured and he is there to rescue her

That's even better! I like the idea of him having to fake his own death and change his identity (it's so much better than another 'resurrection' deal!). Also, I think Sonya's reaction to him would be MOST interesting, since she's believed him dead all of these years.

BTW - sanguine, your sig Kick's ass!

Thanks!

I'm not sure how this idea would affect how her mother and father disappeared. Maybe in faking his death he got them killed and has been living with this knowledge in secret and fells guilt. Obviously he wouldn't want to face Sonya and tell her the truth.

As for her reaction, fireworks will explode! lol Someone will get their ass kicked at that point and it won't be Sonya!

Btw - Sanguine, that sig does kick serious ass!

Wow, I didn't realize that until I saw it...
I'd say the whole Sonya thing could say that Kano's ending was correct in MKDA, & Sonya is dead, which could cause Daniel "Kobra" Blade to come out of hiding & join up to avenge his sister against the Black Dragon member, Kira. A BD vs. SF feud of the new millenium!

right so let me get this, people think sonya dn Kobra are related basically because they have blonde hair and use Kali sticks style???

Hmm well in that case:
Darrius and Nitara must be related (Leopard)
Sidnel and Nitara must be related (Fu jow Pai)
Ashrah and Kitana must be related (Ba Gua and Dark Hair)
and so on.
Loads of newbies have fighting styles from Deadly Alliance. It doesnt mean a thing.

Kobra as Sonya's dead brother? No, no. I don't like the idea and it's not even one that really works. There's no reason for Sonya's dead brother to come back to life considering we know nothing of him anyway. It was probably just some name Tobias came up with to make Sonya seem more interesting. I just think it'd be incredibly retarded for the MK Team to just be like "Uh, here's Kobra! Sonya's dead brother back from... Uh, the dead! For no reason!"

Kobra is probably not going to be Sonya's dead brother, it would make no sense for him to be. Kobra is more than likely going to be his own character.

If he's going to be related it would make sense for him to maybe be a cousin of Sonya or even Cage, not in their immediate family. Why? Because nothing is written about any of their families outside of it giving them free reign to come up with any story they want.

Kobra as Sonya's brother? Probably not, makes no sense to resurect a character with no history other than being a name on a bio, especially a deceased one.

Kobra as a non-immediate (like a cousin) family member? Maybe, makes more sense than having him be a dead brother. Nothing is written about the rest of their family currently so the MK Team can take that path if they want to without fucking up a character's background.

As I've said, I'm not basing my speculation on Weapons or fighting style. Simply on the fact that they look so much alike physically, and not just the "blond hair" either. I mean they really resemble each other. It would be absurd to say that they are related simply because of fighting style or weaponry.

All of these ideas are amazing! I think we should knock on their doors and strut ourselves on in there. I adore the ideas about him having been thought dead after being missing, and he was one of the chosen warriors, like his twin, but was afraid of the responsibility that came with it. This would be so much more interesting than a lame resurrection. No more, no more!

You guys rock, and thanks about my sig banner. =D At first I didn't think it was that good, but I put it up anyway because I'm really looking forward to Kira's appearance in this game.

maybe her brother didn't die?
what if people were led to believe he's dead, that would make sense.. sorta
(i dont know how to do the quote thingy, but i wanted to quote that person who just said that it would make no sense)

Well Tomtaz, does that mean Ashrah and Kitana are related? They look very alike phsically and appearance wise? As do Darrius and Jax. Doesnt necessarily mean anything tho.

True..but no one is saying this is definite. It's merely speculation. And really not that far fetched an idea either.

I agree to an extent. The ressurection thing is tired...but what about Tgrant's idea? That's workable, and completely possible. Also it's not been done before in MK in anyone's story to my knowledge.

Great idea there. Maybe Daniel Blade would head into Outworld because he felt the guilt of not only his sister's death, and the imprisonment of her soul, but the responsibility to protect his realm against The Dragon King, as he feels if he was fighting in MK:DA, they may have never lost.

It is workable, but the idea just seems so wacky and farfetched. Then again, this IS Mortal Kombat so I wouldn't be surprised if he did turn out to be Sonya's brother. Even so, it's too strange. Daniel Blade after being "missing" for over ten years just mysteriously appears onto the scene as a martial arts expert to fight the Dragon King.

I don't know, it could work but I don't really like the idea too much. He should just be his own character in my opinion.

How would being her twin brother not allow him to be his own character? That doesn't make sense to me. He would have an interesting past and a solid tie-in to this game. It would make more sense that way as opposed to him being just some random martial arts expert who fights in a tournament; because as most of use have now seen, this goes far beyond matches of who beats who.

Also, to me it seems hypocritical for most non-fans of Sonya Blade to go "Her story is stale, it's old. She needs to die because there's no way to fix her. She's had her time, she's boring now. She needs a twist in her story and maybe I'll be interested in her again." being the ones who get irritated or pissy when good ideas are mentioned for her story that bring in a new character. Pick one. Geez.
